According to Jon Peddie Research, a firm that specializes in tracking the graphics market, AMD is on the up and up when it comes to graphics card shipments, beating out both Intel and Nvidia.
According to their latest report, many graphics vendors stopped ordering new cards and made sure that their inventories were depleted for the first quarter of this year. But, during that same first quarter, improvement was shown for the sales of Intel, Nvidia and most notably, AMD, who had a growth of 41.5 percent.
It’s expected that Q3 of this year is gearing up to be a very healthy one, thanks to Apple’s Snow Leopard, Windows 7, as well as AMD and Nvidia’s 40nm designs, which should bring better performance and aggressive prices.

Intel 50% NVIDIA 30% and ATI 20%
Why Intel with the worse product is the best seller: It is cheaper.
ATI has AMD, they can make integrated motherboards,
MB for laptops, notebooks and even barebones, cheap ones, but they don't. Why? I do not know, but they still lose money. AMD/ATI cheap netbook would beat ATOM, I'm sure it can, but it does not exist.
Nvidia has not 32bit processor, perhaps they will buy VIA, but the can make a computer with a CPU that is a GPU with Linux on the netbook market, or even on the servers market (ATI did a server only with GPUs).
Am I a genius or an idiot or there are not many "market trend readers" and "market opportunity readers" on that companies as they must have.
What will happen the day Intel will have a good GPU, with a performance as good as a half of best ones from ATI and NVIDIA?
I do not want ATI and NVIDIA to disappear, but INTEL must be their target to increase sales, not other.

of course amd is showing a little gain, its mid to low level cards are selling like hot cakes because theyre dirt cheap. I agree with the other comments though the market competition is amazing for tech progress and pricing

The ATi / Nvidia competition is truly the best thing that could of ever happened to the GPU market. The rivals have, and continue to, give the best innovations in GPU technology at the lowest possible prices. It's awesome for the consumers.

I can't agree more. Things are bound to get interesting with intel wanting a share of the market; a three-way bout would be neat. Also, Nvidia needs to buy VIA, then we will see some good (or bad) things in the near future.
